The Challenges

1. There is no single simple financial solution to adapt communities to the effects of a changing climate

2. The communities that will be hit the hardest by the effects of climate change will be, and have already been, those with the fewest resources to adapt and rebuild

The Opportunity

As communities rethink their approach to water management, they open opportunities to create multiple benefits for their residents.

To achieve the equity and climate adaptation goals we want, we can embed these considerations into the day to day components of our water management systems, including capital investment decisions

CCI Believes

1. Big problems require collaborative approaches. No one institution or leader can solve complex challenges.

2. If you don’t put equity at the center, you won’t succeed in your efforts to create opportunity in your community.

3. There are no easy answers or linear solutions to the challenges we’re taking on. So creativity and an adaptive mindset are required.

4. We’re going to have to shift business as usual and introduce new practices, relationships, structures, policies . . . to get where we’re trying to go.

5. We need divergent perspectives to understand the systems we’re trying to change and shape solutions. Working together in an aligned and intentional way, we can have impact.

6. Capital matters. If we’re going to get to a scale that is transformational, we need to shift investment flows.
